Possibly The Easiest Way To Remove A Tree Stump! Using Epsom Salt!! Part 1

It's been said that taking down a tree is the easy part compared to removing the stump. I hope to dispel that notion by employing what may be the easiest cost effective way to rid any stump from a landscape using none other that epsom salt.

I would just tell my kids that the stump was a really nice piece of wood that I was very proud of and to be extremely careful around it otherwise they might damage it. It would be totally destroyed in two days.

Good news... I used Epsom Salt on a stump... I'm happy to say that after 45 years, the stump is almost gone!

I had 2 trees each over 9 metres tall. The stumps were massive. Totally gone within 12 months with my 3kilo bag of epsom salts. The drill holes were deep, (12 inch) l kept topping the holes up with epsom salts and some boiling water every month or so. The entire stumps crumbled away. A year later l emptied a bag of potting mix in the centre of the remaining mulch/rotted stump and planted a large shrub. It's as tall as me now. I also did the same for a neighbour's pine tree. The roots were cracking up the foundations of his brick shed and back garden paving. The trunk on that one was only about 40 cm wide. He saved lots of money by not needing to dig out any roots or restore any foundations. He planted flowers in the "stump" a year later.

When I was a kid my dad cut down the old cherry tree in our yard in our small town. He put an old tire on the stump and lit it all with a generous douse of gasoline. Flames shot twenty feet tall with black smoke you could see all over town! A sight to behold! Bonus excitement when the firetrucks showed! If you are bored and longing for attention I highly recommend this procedure!

All these stump experts in the comments who came to watch a video about stump removal when they already knew everything...

We just rented a stump grinder from home depot and it works beautifully. I did about 20 stumps over the weekend and had no issues at all. Very easy to use and took no time at all. Also some of the stumps were bigger then yours and some were smaller, but still no problems. I recommend renting one.

Get a metal bucket or aluminum trash can. Cut the bottom out. Place on the stump. Drill your holes and then pour Kerosene on the stump and in the holes. Finally, place about eight inches of charcoal in the can and light it up. In a day or two, remove the can, remove the burnt charcoal, and repeat. In no time, the stump is gone.

I was an arborist for over 30 years and the small stump grinders you get at your local rental store is safe and easy to use and would take about five or ten minutes to grind that stump out . A larger commercial grinder would do the job on that stump in thirty seconds .

I came for quick advice, and stayed for the comments 😄😎

I just did using a different method few days ago. It was a big lemon tree, still wet and strong. Dig a big hole around the tree. Put some wood and burn it. Blow wind directly to the stump using a pipe so it burns the stump hot and penetrate. Repeated the process again the next day when the stump become very dry and it took less than two hours to completely burn the lowest part which was attached to the soil. Rest just crumbled.
Used all the ashes and charcoal to plant a new banana tree on the same place. Im loving it.❤

Some years ago I rented a stump grinder to remove a half-dozen stumps from my back yard.
It took approximately five minutes -- or less -- per stump to to get the job done.
And they were bigger than the one you have here.

I have built a small fire on top of the stump, keep adding wood until the whole stump is burned out below the ground. You have to watch it and it takes a couple days depending on the size of your stump.

Actually dug out 2 stumps with my 2 boys. It was hard, chopping roots, going down and under the root ball. Rain! Then pulling it out of the hole with my 4x4 .Not easy. Not done yet. Winching each root ball into the truck. One at a time. 2 trips to the dump. Getting them off the truck! Memories that none of of us will forget. Family time. Gettin to know each other. I recommend digging it out with family help. Awesome. You don't know someone till you dug out a stump together.

Some commenters have mentioned saturating the drilled stump with petroleum products and burning it. Obviously they don't live with nearby neighbors or local zoning. If they did they would know how fast that would get your arse dragged into court. This is a good, visually-quiet way of getting the job done without drawing unwelcomed attention.

I just chain saw the stump into 6 and sledge hammer some wedges into the lines I made with chain saw. Helps if you dig around stump to expose the bigger roots and cut through them too.

Reminds me of saving money by burning a woodstove. Only expense was the stove, 300.00 chainsaw and a new truck to haul the wood.

I put Epsom salt on 50 stumps when I was a kid. Now, I’m in my 80’s, and I’ve got to say, it was a good investment. I look out at a lawn free of any stumps at all.

My brilliant EXhusband used a chainsaw to cut horizontal and vertical lines on the stump top, then poured diesel fuel on it periodically. After 29 years that old stump is still there. 🤣

You need to put your channel in your will so future generations can film the updates.
